Now by do-able I dont mean like crazy custom job. The reason Im asking is that I remember a while back Night swaped R32 front end onto a S13 and it was supposedly direct bolt up. Does this mean that the front mounting points/dimentions of the R32 is the same as the S13? If so this would imply that a S15 conversion with a S15 rad support would fit on a R32 about as easy as it would on a S13....is this correct? If anyone knows any info on this that would be awsome.

well that doesn't make much sense, sr in a skyline? huh!

I think he asked if the front end of an s-15 would fit on an r-32as for that I dunno, I'm sure you could, but I dont know how bolt on, but the engines all fit!

why? if you have a skyline, leave it a skylinethats like asking to put a camaro front on a vette.or a civic clip on an nsx, or a celica front on a supra... it doesnt really make sense, IMO, the r-32 looks bad as it isbut whatever floats your....

HE DID IT BECAUSE THE SR IS LIGHTER THAN THE RB20 AND IT SITS BEHIND THE FRONT WHEELS GIVING HIM A LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY AND BETTER WEIGHT RATIO.

AN S15 WOULD LOOK AWESOME ON THE R32. THE S15 WOULD COST MORE POUND FOR POUND IF THE R32 WAS STILL MANUFACTURED TODAY.

its really only 20-30 lbs lighter, the COG makes sense.But i dont think the body lines would match to well, It would be different looking but IMO pointless waste of money.I would take that money @ 3gs or so and put it under the hood.to make @350hp hp or more.instead of making it not look like a skyline, but a silviaI do love the s-15 front but why not try and put the r-34 front on it? it would probably fit easier and cost about the same.Its a skyline.....the god of nissan cars...bow down, dont butcher!

Im not sure if this is the right place to reply.s13s to s15 will swap out no problem.I seen a s13 with an r32 front clip not pretty.didnt look like a bolt on able job.Custom swaps only to make it look right

Hahaha I though Id get yelled at for asking about putting a S15 front end on a skyline. I know the skyline is the god of Nissans, buuut I really dislike the size of the turn signals on the front.... just not my thing. Im just wondering the possibilities. I would really LOVE to get a R33 conversion but I dont really have a source for that. The S15 conversion however i can get really cheap because my Company sells body kits. I actually think the body lines would match nicely, but thats just my oppinion. Hey by the way have you guys seen that S15 with a 180sx conversion on the front? i dont remember where i saw it online but it lookd awsome! comon guys with s14 lets see some 180sx conversions!!!

My understanding is that when night put the r32 front end on the 240 it bulged out and there was a gap between the front fenders and the doors. So it at best it will probably look dumb with the front narrower than the back and at worst it wouldnt even fit on. Spend money on your engine.
